Yugi- Street Fighter?!
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author’s Notes: Hey, everyone! Sorry for long update, but my family is moving and its been hectic trying to pack and organize everything together. But, it’s going to be worth it once we move! But, do not worry. I will still be in San Antonio, Texas!
Yugi: Also, DJ wants to know on why no one has reviewed the new chapter of Yugi- DOA Player?! It’s strange to us to see that no one has reviewed it.
Darien: Plus, DJ isn’t going to be online for some time because of the moving. A lot of changes are in store for him, so please have some patience. That’s all he requests.
Now, on with the fanfic!)
Chapter 14
Demon Yugi slowly stretched and flexed his arms, trying to get the kinks out of his muscles. Ushio, Sakura, Juni, and the rest are now in awe and shocked to witness Yugi’s transformation. Dark Sakura, Sakura’s alter ego thanks to the Dark Hadou, is buried deep inside Sakura’s mind. However, she is uneasy and wishes to tell this to her light counterpart.
“Sakura! This is bad!”, Dark Sakura informs her counterpart. The two are now talking via telepathy.
“What is it?”, the original asks while backing up slightly from Demon Yugi.
The dark woman replies, “I can feel immeasurable waves of evil/dark energy radiating from Demon Yugi! Its as strong as Yugi’s own good/light energy!”.
Sakura was in thought for a moment, then asks nervously, “Is it strong as Evil Ryu or Shin Akuma?”.
Dark Sakura shakes her head solemnly and answers gravely, “I wish. Truth be told, this guy leaves them two in the dust.”.
That got Sakura good. She snapped back to reality and once again focused her attention on Demon Yugi. The evil one had finally finished his little exercise, and was now smiling sinisterly at Ushio and his group.
“It’s is fitting that we are in a graveyard.”, he says lazily as he slowly strolls up to the former bully. Ushio is shaking in fright, as were his cronies, but held his ground.
“Why is that?”, he asked in fear.
Demon Yugi’s smile widened slightly as he replied, “It’ll now be easier to bury you and your little gang.”. Without another word, Demon Yugi swiftly threw a light jab into Ushio’s chest!
Although it was a light jab, it felt different for Ushio. It was like a 55-pound sledgehammer just slammed into his body! The creep was knocked about ten feet away, and three feet slightly off the ground! His eyes were wide with pain and surprise, as he slammed into a nearby tree and slumping to the ground. On cue, the seven members of Ushio’s gang tried to ambush Demon Yugi. Alas, it was their own funeral they were going to. Demon Yugi made quick work of them, using only simple punches and kicks to send the goons flying off in any direction. On the sidelines, Juni and Sakura were just too shocked at what they were seeing before them.
“He’s using only light hits, yet it’s strong enough to do that!”, Juni whispered in awe.
Indeed, Demon Yugi was extremely strong and this little demonstration proved it! After sending the last goon into unconsciousness, Demon Yugi strolled up to Ushio, who was still underneath the tree trying to catch his second wind.
“Who… or what are you?!”, he wheezed out as he struggled to stand up. The evil man’s smile never faded; just kept on growing more sinister with each step he took towards the gang member. Soon, he was now a mere foot away from the pain-racked man. Demon Yugi quickly grabbed him by the neck, and started to apply tremendous pressure to it! Ushio gasped and choked in surprise, amazed on how much strength his former punching bag had become.
“I am someone that is going to send you to the afterlife.”, the cold voice of Demon Yugi answered.
It sent Ushio’s spine and soul shivering in fear at the sound of Demon Yugi’s voice. He struggled to get free, but it was no use. Demon Yugi then raised his left hand, a sphere of pure ebony energy slowly forming in his palm.
The evil one sneered and his blood-red eyes narrowed considerably before saying, “Say hello for me to your ancestors!”.
Demon Yugi was about to disintegrate Ushio with the sphere of energy, but that is when Sakura and Juni intervened. The two ladies grabbed him by the arms from behind, effectively releasing Ushio and the bully plopping down on the ground. He was breathing hard, in ragged gasps so he could get some air into his lungs.
“You two also want to die?”, the evil man inquired as he struggled lightly to break free. Sakura and Juni held on tight, knowing that he was just toying with them.
“Please, Yugi! Don’t this!”, Juni exclaimed.
Sakura added, “We know you’re in there! Fight it! Fight Demon Yugi!”.
All this did was to get a cold laugh from the man they were holding back. “Hahaha! You little weaklings! You ever think that weak, pathetic little Yugi can subdue me!”, he asked in a laughing manner.
Sakura’s eyes narrowed and she declared truthfully, “Yes, I know he can! He’s a lot stronger then everyone gives him credit for!”.
Juni added, “That’s right! Yugi’s different then you! He wouldn’t kill for any reason!”.
The two girls then cried out together, “Fight it, Yugi! Please, fight it for us!”.
Demon Yugi was about to get serious, when something unexpected happened. He screamed out in pain as he shook violently, shaking the ladies off of him hard. Sakura and Juni were sprawled out on the ground, but they saw the demon clutching his head as if he had a headache. His eyes were squeezed shut tightly, and his teeth/fangs were grinding and growling out in agony and pain.
“GRRRRR… AAAAAHHHHH!!!”, he growled out loudly as he stumbled around.
“It’s Yugi! He must be trying to regain control!”, Sakura exclaimed in both relief and hope.
Juni was also relived at this, but was worried because it seemed that Demon Yugi was trying equally hard to maintain control. “Sakura, if this keeps up, Yugi might not gain control. His mind is being strained too much from Demon Yugi’s resistance!”, she told her friend.
Sakura shook her head and replied, “No! He can do it! I know he can!”. Suddenly, an ebony-colored aura engulfed the pain-stricken young man and wind whipped around him as the struggled continued! One was about to fall…
~Back at the hotel~
Everyone was in the mini-restaurant at the bottom of the hotel, getting some breakfast and also discussing on what to do to regain Yugi’s trust. Yami and Tea were feeding their child, as where the rest of the parents.
“So, any ideas?”, Yami asked as he encouraged Yugina to eat some of her food.
Duke stated, “Not yet. My mind’s a blank, for some reason.”.
Seto also replied, “Same here. I can’t seem to come up with any thing either.”.
Serenity said, “We have to try. I mean, we owe that to him.”.
Before anything else could be said, three unexpected people came up to them. “Excuse me.”, a familiar voice spoke up.
The group looked up to see Ryu, Chun Li, and also another woman standing before them. “Ryu Hoshi?”, Joey inquired. It was a rare privilege, in his and Tristen’s case, to have the legendary Street Fighter stand before them.
Ryu nodded and said, “Sorry for interrupting, but is Yugi with you?”. They shook their heads no, Tea soon telling them on where he and the others went.
“How did you know he was here?”, Mokuba inquired.
Chun Li smiled at him and answered, “I’m an Interpol agent. Tracking people is my specialty.”.
‘I hope he is all right.’, the Chinese warrior thought. She had a bad feeling in her gut, and it concerned Yugi.
“Who is the lady with you, Ryu?”, Tristen inquired.
The lady bowed slightly and replied, “My name is Rose. I am an old friend of Ryu.”.
Ryu was about to say something when Rose screamed loudly in pain! She was now on the ground, down on one knee. She was glowing with an aura of lavender, tiny crackles of blue lighting dotting about here and there on her body frame. Ryu kneeled down next to her on her left, Chun Li on her right.
“Rose! What is wrong?!”, the Street Fighter exclaimed in concern. Rose’s eyes were closed in concentration, trying to find the source of the disturbance. When she finally found out, her eyes widened in shock.
She shot up quickly, slightly startling everyone. “Quick, there is not much time! Everyone, follow me!”, she told them before bolting for the door.
Ryu caught her by the hand and demanded, “What is it first?!”.
Rose answered urgently, “It is Yugi! He is in trouble! Quickly, we must aide him!”.
With that said, she broke free from Ryu’s grip and raced out of the door. That statement made the rest follow her. The parents pulled their kids out of their seats, quickly but carefully too. Seto paid for the meal by throwing a thousand yen on the table before bolting off with the rest. Now, they were running on the sidewalk and following the psychic.
“What’s wrong with Yugi?!”, Yami demanded.
Rose answered, “His evil side was released some time ago, taking on a form and name. He calls himself Demon Yugi!”.
Tea spoke out, “That’s impossible! Yugi doesn’t have anything evil inside of him!”.
Rose stated, “Wrong! All the evil and negative feelings he has ever had, he stored up and locked away long ago. Now, it has taken form and is now real!”.
Ryu thought of something, and inquired, “By any chance, does this one have the Dark Hadou?”.
Rose nodded gravely and answered, “Yes, he does. Yugi somehow inherited the Dark Hadou unknowingly, and that is what gave Demon Yugi form. Not only that, but it seems another strange energy is mixed in with the Dark Hadou.”.
As they passed the park, Ishizu made a theory, “I assume that the energy is the magical residue from the Shadow Realm! That’s the only thing I can think of that other energy is!”.
Yami agreed with her on that. Rose shook her head and stated, “In any case, we need to hurry! Yugi and Demon Yugi are struggling for control, and they are radiating enormous amounts of power!”.
Now sensing the sheer weight of the situation, they kicked it into high gear and raced towards the graveyard, which Rose was going to thanks to her psychic powers.
~Back at the graveyard~
Demon Yugi was still struggling to maintain control, a fierce battle between him and Yugi still taking place. Sakura and Juni were still waiting on the sidelines, while Ushio and his gang took this opportunity to flee the scene.
{In Yugi’s mind: Two warrior struggled in battle on the meadow field, lighting flashing across the dark sky and winds whipping everywhere! It was Yugi and his evil counterpart, both fighting to gain control. Demon Yugi came in with a hard right hook, but Yugi blocked it and countered with a left thrust kick. It connected, but that did not knock the demon down. It merely pushed him back some feet away.
Demon Yugi snarled, “Give it up, boy! You can’t beat me!”. After saying that, Demon Yugi performed a Super Attack, the infamous Shinkuu Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku!
Whirling in mid-air, he gave Yugi a taste of the powerful Hurricane Kick! It struck the young man fifteen times in the chest, each blow feeling like a car had hit him head on! Once the move was done, Demon Yugi landed on the ground while his counterpart was sprawled on the ground. The demon staggered over towards him, now directly over the fallen man.
“Hehehe. It looks like I win.”, he chuckled out. Suddenly, Yugi’s closed eyes snapped open wide! His right hand quickly clenched into a fist and glowed with pure-white energy! Demon Yugi’s eyes widened in total surprise.
“I… am… not through… YET!!!”, Yugi declared as he leapt straight up and performed the ultimate Shokotan finishing move. It was the legendary Shin Shoryuken, the mighty Dragon Uppercut that made Ryu and Ken famous among Street Fighters!
First, it was a quick, but powerful punch in the gut with his left fist. Then, Demon Yugi was launched upward about thirty feet or so into the air by the uppercut from the right fist! Lighting flashed at the precise moment when the move connected, like if it was timed on cue!
Demon Yugi landed with a resounding thud, an indention of his body now apparent on the ground and forming a mini-crater. The demon was defeated, his eyes closed and his body not moving. Yugi was on one knee, panting hard and very much exhausted.
“I know I have won the battle. It’s the war I am concerned about.”, he told himself.
The young man knew that this was just the beginning of a very long struggle. He then looked up at the sky, and saw that the storm had stopped and the clouds were slowly parting.
He smiled slightly and whispered, “Thank you, Sakura and Juni. Thanks for believing in me. Especially you… Sakura.”. The world went white once more, as the true Yugi took over once again.}
Back in the real world, Demon Yugi was now reverting back to his original form. The skin was turning back from dark tan brown, to light tan white. His fangs slowly retracted until they were once again reverted back to normal teeth. His blood-red eyes changed back to that of violet. His ebony-aura dissipated and the evil vibe was no more. Sakura and Juni looked in awe at the transformation, then jumped up with joy.
“He did it!! He did it!!”, Sakura cheered out as she hugged her friend in relief.
Juni hugged back and added, “Yugi did it! He defeated Demon Yugi!”.
The two were very much relieved to see that their crush had won the fight. Suddenly, they noticed that something was wrong. Yugi was back to normal, but he was leaning on the tree that Ushio once slumped against. He was breathing rather raggedly, his eyes drooping slightly and his left hand on his rapidly beating heart.
“Yugi!”, the two cried out as they now raced towards him. When they got there, the boy slowly slumped over and was soon knocked out. It seemed the fight in the mind took its toll, and was not ready to handle the physical body as of now. Sakura gently and gingerly took the out-cold man in her arms, the woman slightly alarmed to see Yugi just going out like a light.
“He is okay. He’s just out-cold for the moment.”, Juni stated as she checked the pulse. Sakura was relieved at that, then she looked down at the serene face of Yugi Moto. She smiled slightly as she started to stroke his hair.
As the two hovered protectively over their crush, the others finally came on the scene.
“Over there!”, Rose declared as she pointed to the duo.
Ryu lead this time, the rest following his lead. Sakura and Juni looked up when they heard some yelling, and where surprised to see on who was coming at them now. When the group arrived, Ryu asked on what had happened. Juni gave in a more detailed report, as Karin and Juli gathered around Sakura to look at Yugi.
“I think we may have a problem on our hands here.”, Joey said. Truth be told, it was getting way too intense for the Yu-Gi-Oh crew.
Ryu nodded and replied, “Yes, indeed we do.”.
Chun Li spoke up, “Ryu, since you experience this kind of thing before, I suggest that you train Yugi hard now.”.
Mai inquired, “Train? For what, exactly?”.
Chun Li explained to them that Ryu was once under the influence of the Dark Hadou, as was Yugi just now. “I managed to train myself to get rid of the demonic influences. However, the dark energy remained and it took form of my alter ego, Evil Ryu.”, Ryu told them.
Rose stated, “I hate to intervene, but we do seem suspicious up here.”.
Yami replied, “She is right. We must go somewhere safe and secure until Yugi wakes up.”. Everyone agreed, and Ryu suggested to go to the stadium.
“It’s the only place there that is safe. The other Street Fighters can help us in this little quest here.”, he told them. Seeing that he had a point, they all left the graveyard and streaked towards the stadium. Sakura held Yugi close to her, very much not letting him go.
‘What a predicament! Now, Yugi has two things to worry about! The tournament and also controlling that… thing!’, the young woman warrior thought. What she didn’t know that Yugi had three things to worry about, not two. Care to guess on what the other problem is?
(Author’s Notes: So, how was this? Did you like it? I hope so!

Darien: So, what will happen next? Think Yugi can train himself in time to drive out the demonic influences of Demon Yugi?
